Module description

This module introduces you to the academic study of the history of Christian traditions. The module will be divided into five blocks, each focussing on a key period of Christian history. You will study texts by key thinkers from each epoch (in English translation). You will learn how the story of Christianity has been told both by faith communities and by scholars. You will reflect critically on the way in which both kinds of narrative have changed across different regions and over time. You will also engage with material culture (archaeology and visual arts).
